Women's Sample Hat (Knit)


A coworker saw me knitting one of my dishcloths one day.  "Can you knit me a hat?  You know, one that covers my ears, but keeps my hair fluffy and doesn't cause a lot of static?"  *Uhm... I'm a beginner.  Never used dpn's before.  How long do I have? *gulp*  In other words, how old do you want to be when you receive a decent hat?!  I'm also a slow knitter.  My coworker is young, slender, trendy.  I was nervous.  So she agreed on this hat, and if it didn't work out, then I would try another pattern.  It turns out that Ashley loves her hat after all, and she calls it "Super Cute"!  I am relieved, and very pleased.  I'm so not a hat person.  You'll have to put up with Ms. Styro-head.  I would highly recommend this pattern to newbie knitters.  Women's Sampler Hat I used YouTube videos to help ease me in to dpn's.  I will be making another one in green, and one in red!

No Sew Summer Place Mat Purse

Image
Trendy, geeky, or just plain weird?  Did someone say place mat purse?  Creative Korner had a place mat purse swap in June.  I made mine from a round placemat.  The jewelled embellishment and handles were purchased at Michael's and a garage sale. Sing it ~ like a cowgirl, I got my glue gun by ma side, I'm wanted ~wanted~, dead or alive...  The sides of the purse were drawn in and glued, and the handles were sewn.  The nice thing about it is my purse didn't need a zipper or button to close.  Like it?  I really did, but had to mail it to my partner, hmph.
